139: Chapter 139 The Qingyun Sect Sends an Invitation

On the system panel, notifications kept popping up one after another:

[trait Fusion Successful]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a brand new trait]

[Burning Thunder Indestructible Body (Gold)]

[Successfully fully inherited all bonus effects contained within the consumed traits, [Thunderstrike Immortality (Purple)] and [Burning Flame Body (Purple)]]

[The basic effects of the new trait are as follows]

[The holder's Aptitude for Lightning Spirit Root and Fire Spirit Root is significantly improved, damage received from lightning-attribute Cultivation Techniques is moderately reduced, tolerance to Lightning Tribulation is significantly increased, and control over fire-attribute spiritual energy is moderately improved]

[This trait Fusion has successfully triggered an exclusive additional enhancement effect]

[The trait has received the following additional bonuses]

[Resistance to lightning-attribute and fire-attribute attacks is increased, and a portion of the blocked damage is converted into a self-spiritual energy boost, causing the next released lightning-attribute or fire-attribute Cultivation Technique to increase in power proportionally]

Mo Zixing read the trait effects word for word, a flicker of pleasant surprise flashing in the depths of his eyes.

This meant that in the future, any enemy attacking him with lightning or fire-attribute Cultivation Techniques would not only find it harder to hurt him, but would also continuously increase his combat power in a roundabout way.

To round it off, as long as he faced a Lightning Spirit Root or Fire Spirit Root Cultivator of the same rank, he could completely crush them with a dimensionality-reduction strike.

At this moment, the Little Sect Master in his arms finally ran out of strength.

She had originally been clinging to Mo Zixing's neck, kissing him passionately, but now, exhausted and sleepy, she actually drifted off to sleep just like that.

Her arms went limp, and her whole body began to slide down bit by bit. Pfft. She was hung there once again.

Even in such a situation, she only curled her legs up unconsciously, completely still.

Mo Zixing carefully took her down and placed her on the bed with light, gentle movements.

The Little Sect Master was soaked in fragrant sweat, her soft hair sticking to her neck. Her small, alluring lips were slightly parted, and she was breathing evenly. She looked like she was sleeping quite soundly.

Since she had sweated so much, he should have helped her wipe herself down first, but seeing her so exhausted, Mo Zixing couldn't bear to wake her up again. In the end, he just pulled the quilt over and gently covered her with it.

He sat by the bedside, watching Sect Master Bai Ruotong's sleeping face, thinking silently to himself.

The [Sect] in the Little Sect Master's personality had already been replaced by [Loyalty] by him. When she woke up, she wouldn't be solely focused on the Sect anymore. In her world, there would only be him.

Mo Zixing reached out and gently smoothed a few strands of hair from her cheek.

Although she still looked petite and cute, in reality, because the black traits had all been resolved by him, Sect Master Bai Ruotong had now fully recovered her original Golden Core Ninth Level cultivation.

Her strength was definitely not to be underestimated. It was just her other [Wild Evil] personality trait; because her vitality and spiritual energy had been suppressed for the past few days, it didn't seem to have manifested much yet. He didn't know what it would be like if she really went mad. As long as she didn't cause him any major trouble, that would be fine.

Mo Zixing stood up and simply draped his robe over himself. He walked out of the room silently, gently closing the door behind him.

He looked left and right. Two figures caught his attention. At the end of the corridor, Liu Qingyan was whispering about something with a female Disciple from Qingdan Peak.

Mo Zixing's mind stirred, and his figure flashed. Without making a sound, he suddenly appeared beside Liu Qingyan.

Liu Qingyan only turned her head slightly, without much surprise on her face; clearly, she was a bit used to it: "You're back?"

She reached out naturally to straighten Mo Zixing's slightly messy collar. Her hand paused slightly when it touched a small patch of sweat on his robe. However, she didn't do or ask anything more, just said softly: "Just in time, she was just talking about something related to you."

The female Disciple, on the other hand, was startled by the suddenly appearing Mo Zixing, and the tray in her hand almost fell to the ground. She quickly stepped back, bowed deeply, and saluted: "G-Greetings, Elder Mo!"

She secretly looked up and glanced at Mo Zixing in front of her, her eyes full of awe. This was a Genius rarely seen in the Sect in a thousand years; it was said that he had recently formed a Heavenly Dao Golden Core. Now, in the entire Mingyu Sect, there was no one who didn't know about this young Genius Elder.

"No need for formalities." Mo Zixing waved his hand and said casually: "Are you looking for me for something?"

"Yes, it's good that you're here now; the Sect has an urgent matter to notify you about." The female Disciple composed herself and quickly said: "Half an hour ago, someone from the Qingyun Sect sent over an invitation, saying that a banquet will be held in three days, and they are inviting our Mingyu Sect to attend as guests."

"After the Grand Elder received the news, he specifically told me to come find you immediately, wanting to ask you to show your face." "He said that you, Elder Mo, are the face of the current Mingyu Sect." "Only if you go will our Mingyu Sect have enough confidence there."

Qingyun Sect? Mo Zixing and Liu Qingyan exchanged a look, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Mo Zixing couldn't quite understand. This Qingyun Sect's Sect Master Kang Qiao had already been personally killed by him in the Xuanling Secret Realm. Not even a speck of ash was left. The kind where there was no corpse left. All the other Qingyun Sect Disciples present had also been dealt with by him. Not a single one remained. And no one had the chance to go back and report the news.

Logically speaking, the Qingyun Sect was leaderless. They should be in a state of panic, with Elders and Disciples unable to fend for themselves. Why weren't they rushing to elect a new Sect Master to stabilize the situation, but instead holding some grand banquet?

If something is abnormal, there must be a demon. Mo Zixing took the invitation from the female Disciple's hand and waved her away.

After the female Disciple left, Liu Qingyan frowned, her tone becoming slightly heavy: "Zixing, I always feel that this banquet is not simple."

"Since the day we returned from the Xuanling Secret Realm, I have been deliberately paying attention to news about the Qingyun Sect." As she spoke, she shook her head: "However, I haven't heard even a single rumor about the Sect Master dying or going missing."

"And now, the Qingyun Sect has suddenly chosen such an urgent time, three days from now, to hold some kind of banquet." Speaking of this, Liu Qingyan held Mo Zixing's hand with some worry: "Our last operation shouldn't have left any traces. Even if the people of the Qingyun Sect really discovered that the Sect Master died, they shouldn't suspect us. But I'm still a bit uneasy. Zixing, are you really going?"

Mo Zixing didn't answer directly. He chose to open the invitation first, squinting his eyes and reading it carefully. A moment later, he just smiled and handed the invitation in his hand to Liu Qingyan: "I'm going."
